Too cute for words
First, the setup: I have a WAN through a Motorola router to 14 remote locations. We run SCO UNIX and DEC terminals over this network (56K per locations, split form a T-1), but it has access to the internet through a firewall and password. I am rolling out PCs to each location, no problem. We have a sort of mega-manager who oversees all the stores. He has a Dell laptop with XP Pro. When I connect PCs, it seems to make little or no difference to the speed, but when the laptop is plugged into the network at any location, that locations terminals slow to a crawl. If he unplugs, they go back to normal. I have not personally observed this problem, and the person involved is hardly the sharpest pencil in the box, but I asked a lot of questions and am therefore reasonably confident of my description of the problem. Any ideas????
